Wales is a country famous for its countryside - the rugged coastline of the
Pembrokshire Coast National Park, the wild moorland of mid Wales, and the sandstone
peaks of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The capital is Cardiff, with its magnificent castle
and fully restored cathedral. It has a fascinating docks area which contains
many heritage sites and museums.

North Wales is home to the Snowdonia National Park, which has many varied
activities to enjoy, with walking, climbing, Roman forts to visit, and
watersports all available within the park. There are also the narrow gauge steam
railways which have been restored to transport the visitor through the beautiful
scenery of the park. These are a legacy from Wales' mining past, and were
previously used to carry coal and slate!

Wales has a profusion of magnificent castles, the most famous being
Caernarfon, Harlech, Beaumaris and Conwy. There are many others, some are still
intact, but many are romantic, crumbling ruins giving just hints of their
glorious past.

South Wales has a beautiful coastline which is preserved as the Pembrokeshire
Coast National Park. There is the famous Pembrokeshire Coastal Path which is a 186
mile long footpath, encompassing rugged cliff tops and sandy beaches, and
everything between! It has an example of almost every type of coastal feature
found in Britain, including many rare species of flora and fauna.

Those wanting a seaside holiday should visit Llandudno, with its traditional British seaside feel. It has a 2300 foot long pier, and elegant promenade that you can stroll along, and a 1902 tramway that is still in operation.
